Oh no! Yesterday i was late for school AGAIN! I was really pissed with the Discipline Master,it wasn't my fault that i was late.I told him the reason why,but he still wouldn't believe me! I told him that i had helped an old lady get her handbag back from a snatch thief.However,my words fell on deaf ears.He thought that i was using that as an excuse to find my way out of detention.Man,how i wished i could...oh nevermind! This is how the story goes...

It was already 7:10am.I was going to be late for school if i didn't leave the house now.I immediately grabbed my backpack and ran out of my house.I ran as fast as my legs could go.Halfway there,i was feeling a bit tired.Realising that i had some time to spare since i ran for quite some time,i stopped to take a rest.I sat down on a bench opposite a coffeeshop.Just when i was using a tissue paper to wipe the pespiration off my forehead,a short malay man came out of nowhere and snatched away an old woman's handbag from right under my eyes and made his getaway.

Immediately,without thinking twice,i dropped my bag and gave chase.I didn't care if he was armed at that time,all i was thinking of was to help the old lady get her handbag back.After a short wild goose chase,i finally caught up with the man.I could see that he was already tired,hand clutching his chest.He could not go on any longer,legs wobbly,he fell down to the ground.Immediately i called the police and went over to him.I held him by the collar and did not allow him to make his getaway again.Ten minutes later,the police had arrived.They praised me for my good deed and took down my particulars too.After that,i made my way to school feeling proud of myself.

And that was how it happened.However i had a big suprise today in school,during morning assembly,the principal called upon me to come up onto the stage.At first,i thought i was in deep trouble.However,it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.Aparrently,yesterday after school,the principal had received a letter from the police headquarters stating everything that happened yesterday and commending my brave and courageous act and effort put into catching the snatch thief.The principal than proceeded to praise me infront of the school and called me a "role model" to the other pupils.On hearing those words,i felt very touched.This is an incident which i will never forget for the rest of my life.
